Said this a few times, so I won't harp on, why do you care about the fee? Only question is will he improve us or not? Surely?

its in more than the chron, to be fair.

why would he replace wijnaldum? surely he wont be shifted out wide after his last 2 displays?

ive just done some dennis wise scouting on him, he's nee obertan, but thats no recommendation I guess.

Worthy if a thread now, surely? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-transfers-magpies-held-10738265

may be giggs, but chron reporting we're in talks for Townsend and he wants to join us.

Still talking to your coffee-maker? Eh??? Edit. Got it. Boooo.

Bastia interested in rivieire according to some french press.

Every time Thauvin gets caught in possession McClaren looks like he's going into cardiac arrest. He's just too cautious to back such a player, he'd probably rather start with Gouffran on the left wing. Safe and will track back. Not having a go, but if that's the case, why has he never done it? He probably thinks Gouffran is a central midfielder. Lee Ryder does. So he wouldn't rather play him on the wing then? I think if he knew how Pardew used him he probably would. He seems to want Gouffran-like qualities in his wide players in tracking back. So he'd rather play gouffran there, but never has, because he thinks he's a central midfielder, but if he knew he'd ever been played as a winger before, he would. Got it.

We're shitcunts. Yep. Fans who got on his back included.

would love to see if his press fanboys pick up on it....bet they don't.

i'm all for being cynical about this set of c***s but it smells more of them gambling on potential to me, thinking they're getting the new hazard for 12m and can sell in 2 years for 30m Hell of a gamble paying £12m when he'd just been voted one of the worst players in Ligue 1 last season. ashley loves a gamble though eh? lucky us. do they ever pay off? shame he's never taken a gamble worth taking. fucking fat wanker.

he's got pace, which is a start. but he feels very 'obertany' doesnt he?

shows the 'model' up again i guess. players bought who the 'head coach' doesnt want. fucking barmy.

agreed, shame the fans who berated him at the weekend didnt agree that he'd hard;y had a try.

for a guy who looked low on confidence, the 'youre not fit to wear the shirt' brigade will have him desperate to leave, cant blame him!

yep.

good, didnt want his return to alter any striker search. Cisse isnt the answer.

Aye. I'd be amazed if Burnley let him go though aye, this article suggests he's quick and strong: http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/13949910.Paul_Weller_column__Andre_Gray___s_pace_and_power_like_nothing_I___ve_seen_at_Burnley/?ref=mr&lp=20

is this andre gray fella quick? (i realise we probably cant sign him until summer, but if the interest is true, it may indicate what they are looking for).

pace is an absolute must for a striker we buy, imo.

superb last night.
